ABSTRACT
The task establishes the basis for developing a step by step construction of the structural formulation of the hospital project, through its relation to the site concerned. The basic unit of the hospital project was structured around the group of four modules in partial pinwheel configuration. It can therefore be deciphered that this specific form became the primary design component on the basis of which the entire hospital project was structured, and reciprocated back to the medieval fabric of the city. Le Corbusier chose to insert his hospital project to create a 'trilogy' of a sort, with the other areas of public importance such as Piazza San Marco and the Ospedale Civile. The Hospital project was to be located near the north-western end of the Grand Canal and extending over the lagoon separating Venice from Mestre. The hospital project became one of the pioneering examples of this typology in the early 1960s.
